TheGhostRider Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hard to believe that 18 years ago the triumphant return of the band was released. Vapor Trails was an awesome album and a welcome return from the kings. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 That was a great concert, the crowd was so enthusiastic. One of my favorites :heart: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Almost 19 years since the show itself. The same time difference as from the Signals tour until Rio! The DVD recording shows it's age now but it's still absolutely brilliant, a real career high point. The Boys In Brazil was a great document at the time too. Poignantly sad now though to witness Neil and Andrew. Man, life is short! :( Edited October 22, 2021 by Lurkst 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I remember being surprised when word came it was being released -- I'd gotten so used to the "four albums, then a live one" pattern! But Rio was the start of a new pattern -- a live album after each tour -- and I was glad of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 A great show but awful sound quality on the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Probably my favorite of their live releases, and one of my favorites from any artist. The energy of the performance and the crowd is insane. They were at the top of their game on this show. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 If they could have just edited out the "singing" on YYZ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I keep misreading this as ROD in Rio turned 18 today, lol. Wow Rod, I didn't know you could be a major rock journalist before being able to vote! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I love this live concert. Don't need to hear another perfect rendition of YYZ or any other Rush songs. The Rio recording captures an amazing crowd reaction and is part of this triumphant return by Rush. :haz: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Who was Andrew? Andrew MacNaughtan, the band's PA and photographer, he made the documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hard to believe that 18 years ago the triumphant return of the band was released. Vapor Trails was an awesome album and a welcome return from the kings. I can think of no other way to put an exclamation point on their return.This was the first concert of theirs to debut as a "One Night Only" Theatrical Event on the day of release. WDHA 105.5 gave you a choice of a free CD, free DVD or free movie poster at the theater as you walked in. I chose the poster (still hanging on my wall) because I'd already bought the CD and DVD from Vintage Vinyl earlier in the day. What a ride....
